NOVA Forecast for Thursday 02 May 2019

Showers and storms are possible overnight Wednesday into Thursday. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms have the potential to turn strong.

A better chance of thunderstorms will come on Thursday afternoon and evening.

A few of which will be severe.

Friday we also have a marginal risk of severe weather. Temperatures from there will try to settle back down into the 70’s and hopefully give us heavy rains over the weekend. We could see up to an inch of rain by the weekend.

Showers and storms over the next few days could see up to a quarter to a half of an inch of rain or so, more or less depending upon the day and the location, but most of all of us will see rain over the weekend which could be rather heavy.

Severe storms could contain heavy downpours threat as well as a wind threat. Heavy rains up to a half inch or so is possible on Thursday and Friday with high gusty winds within thunderstorms with gusts up to 60 mph embedded within storms. Hopefully, the weekend and early next week will be slightly more relaxing.

Rain comes for the weekend, but we try to dry out Monday and parts of Tuesday, but the chance of rain comes back in as we go into the day Tuesday and Wednesday with a possible rumble of thunder. Stay tuned to WDVM for the latest in weather coverage around the four-state region.
